Amazing things are happening at Kimberley! The School Council and the school have aligned their budgets to achieve efficiencies in spending on Prologue performances & workshops, STEM resources, Physical Education, Health and Wellness initiatives and classroom enhancements of $250 per teacher. We expect to use our annual operating budget to spend over $27,000 on our children this year, roughly $100 per child!
This year, the School Council wants to further enhance overall student and community wellness (mind & body, food & exercise), and as always, update some of the school’s technology. Last year we bought the school a new computer cart so multiple classes don’t have to continually share their computers. This year, our goal is to FILL THAT CART! Each Chromebook costs us roughly $300, and we need 30 more computers – $9,000 folks is our goal and we need your help!!
We are asking for a voluntary cash donation to the School Council with a suggested amount of $50 per child. Donations of ANY amount are appreciated and are eligible for income tax receipts. No child at Kimberley will be denied access to School Council funded services or programs.
With TDSB School Cash Online, it’s easy to make your donation, here’s how:
- Visit TDSB School Cash Online (https://tdsb.schoolcashonline.com/)
- Sign into your account (If you don’t already have an account just click on the Get Started Today button)
- Click on Make a Donation Button under the Items tab
- For Fund Destination choose Kimberley Junior Public School
We also welcome donations by cash or cheque. If that is your preferred method please drop off your envelope addressed to Kimberley’s Direct Donation Program at the School Office. Cheques should be made out to the “Toronto District School Board” with Kimberley Junior Public School in the memo. If you drop off cash please indicate on the envelope who it is from so you can be issued a tax receipt.
We know that not every family wants to donate cash, some families like to get something for their money. We get it! We’re happy to now offer a way to give without spending extra money! It’s called FlipGive, click here to see how it works.
Still not your thing? No worries, we will continue to run other fundraising initiatives throughout the year, along with our community events. We have included a snapshot of what to expect for the year from School Council, and we hope that by giving you lots of time to plan you can decide how and where you want to help out.
